Sound Tribe Sector 9

When: Sat., Aug. 16, 6:30 p.m. 2008Price: $39.50

Sound Tribe Sector 9 is one of the most successful
touring bands in the United States, playing music unfettered by genre, a
free-flowing instrumental tide that draws on funk, jazz, rock, dub, break-beat,
hip-hop, space music, and electronica. STS9 sweeps
listeners up with hypnotic rhythms that create an almost endless groove,
complemented by dazzling light shows that mirror the ever-evolving soundscapes. On its latest studio album, Peaceblaster, the band adds vocals to its songs for
the first time, which may add a new wrinkle to its presentation as the tunes
unwind in concert. Sound Tribe Sector 9 plays on Saturday, August 16 at the Greek Theatre (off Gayley Rd., Berkeley).
6:30 p.m., $39.50. APEConcerts.com
